Kimberly Ann Storm

PFC Kimberly Storm drowned while checking on a low water crossing at Fort Hood, Texas, during a period of severe flooding.

She was traveling on foot with her platoon when a passing deuce-and-a-half truck inadvertently forced them to the side of the road. PFC Storm slipped and fell into swiftly flowing water in an adjacent drainage ditch and was swept into the base's drainage system. Her body was later found near Darnell Army Hospital, approximately one mile from where she fell in.

PFC Storm was survived by her parents and twin sister.

I remember the day like it was yesterday. My husband, Spec-4 Burley's company, 553rd, was called to assist with emergency evacuations.
Later on we heard that Kimberly was missing. They believe she slipped by the floodgates. The downpour was treacherous that day!
I remember a search and rescue call going out. We were all praying and hoping that she made it to safety somehow and would be found alive.
Our hopes were dashed when she was found by the drain. Mr. and Mrs. Storm, I wept for your daughter then. I Am Weeping for her now as I pen this reflection. She was a bright light shining in the darkness.
I will never forget when my husband came home and told Me, 'Deneen, they found Kim's body by the drain!' It seemed like the whole base and nearby families/ communities were saddened. We were all praying for her rescue.
God bless you all!
